DESIGN NAME: Wind Tower
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Skyscraper
INSPIRATION: The concept "Wind Tower 2016" represents a kind of skyscraper which is shaped by tsunami and hurricane masses.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The building structure itself pays homage to a wind-shaped cloud which is wrapped around a monolithic core. A trapped cloud in its free form, pending in the air and only fixed by the core, still demonstrating its homogeneity (resonance) to the floating streams of air.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The entire form of the building make sure, that it captures the wind at its highest velocity as it accelerates aroung the tower. At the apex, where wind speeds at a maximum the two wind turbines are placed. The core itself is shaded by solar cells that capture the southern sun.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: artificial sand island with road access from the mainland UAE
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design
|
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: 3D-sand printed facade patterns with integrated glass fronts,
Carbon fiber reinforced polyamide for Down Wind Turbine casing
Wind Tower is situated on an artificial sand island with a road access from the mainland
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 250m height

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: How to create a building, which is shaped by tsunami and hurricane masses. A new order generated from chaos. A new kind of aesthetics defined by chaos.
CHALLENGE: A new order generated from chaos. As a new challenge, one could try to develop new urban structures and architectural forms which are not in contrast to but in conformity with the forces of nature which are able to further develop their potential of strength as a result of the global climate change.
